My invention relates to a device for economically preparing a dyestuflfsolution and more especially the solution of bluing in water whenrinsing washed linen.

5 It is an object of my invention to provide a device of this kind, theuse of which results in a saving of dyestufl.

Hitherto the dyestufi, such as bluing, has as a rule been wrapped in apiece of fabric or. a ba pervious to water, which was then placed in therinsing water. This mode of proceeding proved unsatisfactory in use,since as a rule the bag was discarded together with the dyestufl lefttherein. On the other hand, if the bag was retained for further use,some of the solution remaining therein would drip out and soil thehands.

The device according to this invention does away with these drawbacks.

In the drawing aflixed to this specification and forming part thereof,a. device embodying my invention is illustrated diagrammatically by wayof example.

In the drawing,

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the handle,

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the bag containing the bluing inposition in the handle before use.

Fig. 3 is a similar view of the after use and Fig. 4 shows the devicewith the bag .containing the dyestufl when stored away for further use.

Referring to the drawing, F is a handle, which may be made of wood,metal or the like, and A device directly i and B are two larger holes atthe ends of the handle, while c, c are small holes in the grip end ofthe handle. D is the bag containing the bluing and D is the part of thebag surrounding the opening. E is a string, one end of which is tiedaround the part D of the bag and closes same and E is the farther end ofthe string, which extends through the openings 0', c. When using thedevice, the bluing or other dyestufl is placed in the bag D and the partof the bag D' surrounding the opening is passed through the hole A and aloop at theend of the string E is placed around it and tightened toclose the bag. as shown in Fig. 2. Now the has may be introduced intothe water and moved therein to cause water to enter the bag and dissolvesome of the bluing, which is however prevented from escaping through theopening of the bag, which is closed by the string. When a sufflcientquantity of the dyestuil has been dis-,

solved in the water, the string E is pulled and the neck portion D ofthe bag lifted through the hole A, whereby the bag is compressedsomewhat and the water in the bag expelled by the pressure. Now the endE of the bag is pulled to 5 -maintain the bag in the storing positionshown in Fig. 4 and the end E may be fixed as shown in Fig. 4.

Alternatively, if the string E is replaced by a rubber band, this latterwill automatically pull the bag up through the hole A and therebycompress it.

With the aid of this device the bag need only be drawn several timesthrough the water and may thereafter be withdrawn and pulled backthrough the hole A into theposition shown in Fig. 4, without the handsbeing soiled and more than the necessary quantity of bluing spent.

After use the device may be suspended on the wall by the hole B.

I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to theexact details of construction shown and described for obviousmodifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

I claim: 1 25 1. A device for use in dissolving a dyestuil such asbluing in a liquid such as water comprising in combination a handle witha hole at one end, a bag pervious to liquid for the reception of thedyestuil extending with its neck portion through said hole and a string,one end of which is placed around this neck portion so as to close it,and means for fixing the other end of the string near the other end ofsaid handle.

2. A device for use in dissolving a dyestuf! such as bluing in a liquidsuch as water comprising in combination a handle with a hole at one end,a bag pervious to liquid for the reception of the dyestuif extendingwith its neck portion through said hole and a string one end of which isplaced around this neck portion so as to close it, and two holes nearthe other endof said handle for the reception of the free end of saidstring.

3. A device for use in dissolving a dyestufl such as bluing in a liquidsuch as water comprising in combination a handle with a hole at one end,a bag pervious to liquid for the reception oi the dyestufl extendingwith its neck portion through said hole and a rubber string. one end ofwhich is placed around this neck portion so as to close it, 50 and meansfor fixing the other end of the rubber string near the other end of saidhandle.
